The European Economic Research Institute (EUWIFO) based in Zurich, Switzerland, is an owner-managed business. EUWIFO’s Business Monitor is a survey that cumulates business owner and board member’s expectations of their business’ current and future performance, as well as the overall business environment. The survey is conducted in more than 60 markets, of which 30 are reported. In Germany alone, 500 interviews are conducted each week – over 2,000 per month. In other markets, between 60 and 500 interviews are conducted monthly. The EUWIFO survey is unique because it exclusively targets business leaders. It also stands alone in terms of both the high speed in which results are made available to participants and its extensive geographical coverage.
